Look at, you know, milley youd know, hes more concerned about renaming bases in this country than he is with the fact that china is launching hypersonicis missiles and thehe fact that , you know, the taliban beat us in afghanistan and totallywe disgraced our country. you know,ap the answer is theye weaponized all the systems and you know, the fact that , you know, you had antifa members burning down churchesin across the street from the white house didnt fit their narrative yet t. dnt fitt joe b...

Bases and make clear, in a believable way with their actions, that there wont be another russian military invasion of ukraine. i suppose the question is there how can president putin do that without losing face? do you have an idea what his end game really is with this whole debacle that has been happening over the past few weeks in particular? i do. i think hes trying to do a former us secretary of state george shultz called "casting the shadow of power over the negotiating table. " i think he ...

Chief of russia operations. so general, i am wondering your reaction to the president saying he will send american troops to eastern europe, to nato countries we should point out in the near term. how significant is that? >> i dont think its very significant at all, anderson. in fact, i suspected that it would happen. when the early discussions were ongoing, the president and -- and the national security apparatus were talking about waiting for a nato call forward for the nato response force. we...

Other issues. my constituents said i have military bases and i have e—mails from families concerned about the consequences for their loved ones in the military if things escalate on the ukrainian and russian border. parliament, crisis, the cost of living, as well as a whole host of other issues. i would think. armour and florence also saying they want to move on, yet whenever they are given any opportunity they keep coming back to this issue. there is an irony in what they say they want to mov...

Out of the way of what was historically islamic state territory. there are lots of questions about how the us forces would have launched the raid, where they would come from, historically they use basesin from, historically they use bases in iraqi, but this is a long way across country. so they would have been a lot of assets, notjust helicopters, but close air support, drones providing imagery, that would have been used on this raid. how complex would you say it is to execute an operation like ...

From a strong majority? >> i dont think it matters anymore. i think -- what cost the republican party to be what it is today, he is a rare election of what the republican party had become over the last ten years. which is why he won the nomination in 2016. he did win the nomination because he convinced republicans that he was a man of stellar integrity and virtue. he basically reflected a majority about the republicans wanted. so to me, the sooner we all get past the idea that trump is driving t...

In the other corner to see what is actually being prepared and so we are not really clear. it is a bit of a head scratch actually what this is about. and that presumably creates challenges, in the sense, that nobody knows what would be the kind of face saving offer that the west could make, that would allow vladimir putin to stand down without looking like he has stood down. i think he would certainly declare victory if there was some kind of commitment to at least you have a moratorium on nato ...

But after former president trump pulled out of the obama-era nuclear deal in 2018, iran, furious, began expanding its uranium stockpile while these new talks have dragged on. trump left the original agreement hoping punishing sanctions could drive iran to cut a better deal. here in tehran, those sanctions are being felt. the economy crippled, inflation and public discontent both high. but its government remains defiant, unveiling a new long-range missile, claiming its capable of reaching israel ...

>> thats a great question and a question we have been did hend making answers. this term you hear over the rise of counter terrorism, the distances we are talking about in afghanistan where we now have no bases, no bases in any neighboring country, and no allies on the ground, they are being hunted down as we speak and not even an embassy with which to run intelligence operations out of, it becomes extremely difficult and we have demanded a plan from congress in the last, and we are waiting on i...
